Warm baths are fine...as long as you aren't getting over heated...and if you feel yourself getting hot just sit on the edge of the tub until you cool down. I have taken baths with my last and this pregnancy and everything was ok. Just listen to your body.

I wasn't supposed to take one cause I had a UTI but since I got over that, I've gone back to taking warm baths. Love them!! Just not too hot...apparently the baby can get overheated and can't cool down, so I believe the temp is 98 degrees or less.

It depends on how I'm feeling that day, if I've had a bad day I make dh do it, but if I've had a pretty awesome day I just do it myself. Although it's nice to be lazy and let people do things for me once in a while.
